Panathinaikos Soccer School Memphis

Refunds
Once a player has submitted registration forms and the first payment, his/her family is responsible
to pay the entire yearly fee. Players who leave mid-year without paying their fees create financial
strife for the club as a whole. Rather than increase fees for everyone in an attempt to create a
buffer for these situations, we have adopted this more responsible policy. In doing so, we hope to
ensure that both the player(s) and the club are committed to one another.

Voluntary Release & Fees

In the event a voluntary release is requested and awarded, families are not exempt from paying
any balance remaining on that family's account. All balances must be paid in full prior to
awarding a voluntary release. Fees will not be prorated or otherwise adjusted for families
requesting voluntary release.

Panathinaikos F.C.
2013-2014 Season Code of Conduct AgreementPanathinaikos Memphis Academy

While the immediate evaluation of a club may lie in the success that it experiences
on the field the ultimate worth of a club is found in how it prepares its members to
meet the challenges of adult life. Panathinaikos Soccer Schools believes the
development of character to be just as vital as the development of soccer skills thus
the following guidelines.

Player Guidelines:
Conduct yourself with class and dignity on and off the field.
Treat the opposition with the respect they deserve.
Treat referees with the respect they deserve.
Be a supportive teammate.
Be responsible for your own affairs and decisions.
Observe all team and club rules.
Train and play with the necessary intensity and focus.
Respect the decisions of the coach and approach them with any personal concerns in a
respectful and adult fashion.
Face adversity and challenge with a strong conviction and do not quit.
Represent yourself, your family, and the club as best you can in all situations.

While we hold our players to a certain level of decorum it is vital that our parents exhibit
the character and conduct that we are striving to instill in our players.

Parent Guidelines:
Support your child and his/her teammates with positive reinforcement; Do not offer negative
criticism of your child or ANY of their teammates.
Treat the referee with respect.
Treat the parents and players of the opposition with respect.
Have a healthy perspective of youth sports and do not get caught up in the emotions of a victory
or a loss.
Panathinaikos Soccer School Memphis

 Observe the 24 hour rule when dealing with the coach.

Represent yourself, your family, and the club as best you can be a good example.
Be sure to inform the Team Manager of your childs medical conditions before training to
ensure the best training environment possible.
Parents DO NOT coach or criticize your child from the sidelines. There is no way you can
be aware of the direction the coaches are giving the players. Your assistance, while well
intentioned, creates a distraction and is often in conflict with what the coach is instructing.
Note: Please be advised that if parents disregard this request and give ANY form of instruction
from the sidelines, their child will immediately get pulled of the field and will sit the bench for the
remainder of the respective half; 1st or 2nd.

As we ask the families and players within our club to achieve a certain level of
behavior it is important that the coaches within the club lead by example. Coaches
must be positive role models and good ambassadors of the PAO organization.

Coaches guidelines:
Be an educator. Take the responsibility of development seriously and be prepared on a daily and
seasonal basis.
Be professional on the sidelines. Behave with character and dignity. Pay attention to language
while you respect officials and opponents.
Observe the club dress code at all functions.
Be a role model. Take successes and failures with a view of the big picture, supply the
perspective that a young person may not be able to.
Treat all players and families with respect.
Represent yourself, your team, and the club as best you can and be a leader.
